Cover art for What You Wanted lyrics by Angus and Julia Stone

This song seems suddenly quite poignant, it must have been like what my now ex-girlfriend felt about mine and her relationship. She wanted me so much, but I couldn't commit (mainly as she and her world were miles apart) we'd be off and on and she must have wondered if I wanted her, until finally the things I'd do to make her want me no longer worked: she no longer felt the same for me. She believed the whole relationship was about me, what I wanted (although actually it was about what she wanted and when she changed her mind, she left, turned cold and returned to her life as it was before she met me). The last bits have no bearing on the song, but I was amazed just to play a random song and it seemed to fit my life currently. Amazing song. Love it. Tragic thing for me, "its all about what you wanted am i what you wanted?" in the end I did want her, but it was "too little, too late". C'est la vie.
